What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my accounting expertise and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Senior Accountant with over 9 years of experience in financial reporting, taxation, and accounting software. My proficiency in tools like QuickBooks, Odoo, and PIMS has allowed me to excel in financial analysis, compliance, and team leadership. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in accounting, auditing, and financial control to contribute to a dynamic organization.

In my current role as Chief Accountant at Toy Market Trading, I manage monthly closing tasks, prepare cash flow reports, and ensure compliance with NSSF and VAT regulations. My previous experiences at Arab Business Machine and Nestlé Waters have further honed my skills in financial accuracy and regulatory compliance. I thrive in challenging environments and am committed to leading teams to achieve operational excellence.
